Daily Double! In Tin's period table square has the numbers 50, and 119.69, what are these numbers called and what do they mean?
50 is the atomic number and is the number of protons and electrons in the atom. 119.69 is the atomic mass, and is the mass of protons plus the mass of neutrons in the atom.
